NOTICE OF SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING

I. INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the 2026 Framework Agreement Announcement.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with, among other things, (i) a letter of the Board containing further information regarding the terms of the 2026 Framework Agreement; (ii) the letter of recommendation from the Independent Board Committee in relation to the terms and conditions of the 2026 Framework Agreement; (iii) the letter from the Independent Financial Adviser containing its advice to the Independent Board Committee and Independent Shareholders in relation to the terms of the 2026 Framework Agreement and the transactions as contemplated thereunder; (iv) the notice of SGM and (v) other information as required under the Listing Rules.

II. THE 2026 FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT

As disclosed in the 2026 Framework Agreement Announcement, on 18 March 2026, the Company and Yunnan Baiyao Group entered into the 2026 Framework Agreement to renew the Existing Framework Agreement for a term commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the third anniversary of the Effective Date, pursuant to which (i) Yunnan Baiyao Group agreed to purchase (a) YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services, and (b) Global Supply Chain Integration Services from the Group; and (ii) the Group agreed to (a) purchase Group Products Registration and Promotion Services from Yunnan Baiyao Group; and (b) purchase and distribute YNBY Products in overseas markets. The principal terms of the 2026 Framework Agreement are summarized below.

Date
18 March 2026

Parties
(i) The Company; and
(ii) Yunnan Baiyao Group

Term
Subject to the fulfilment of the condition precedent as stated below, the term of the 2026 Framework Agreement shall be for a period of three years commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the third anniversary of the Effective Date.

Subject matter
Pursuant to the 2026 Framework Agreement, (i) Yunnan Baiyao Group agreed to purchase (a) YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services, and (b) Global Supply Chain Integration Services from the Group; and (ii) the Group agreed to (a) purchase Group Products Registration and Promotion Services from Yunnan Baiyao Group; and (b) purchase and distribute YNBY Products to the overseas markets.

YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services

The Group will (i) assist Yunnan Baiyao Group on the registration of YNBY Products pursuant to the relevant overseas regulatory and registration requirements; (ii) assist Yunnan Baiyao Group on intellectual property registration of YNBY Products; (iii) provide overseas marketing services for YNBY Products; and (iv) provide overseas market expansion services to Yunnan Baiyao Group.

The YNBY Products mainly comprise health products, traditional Chinese medicine and/or pharmaceutical products, which generally require local product registration and specific import/export and local sales licences before they can be marketed and distributed in overseas jurisdictions. Under the YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services, the Company's established overseas branches and subsidiaries worldwide, such as Korea, Japan, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Canada, the USA, the UK, etc., will assist Yunnan Baiyao Group by using locally registered entities to apply for registrations and licences and to carry out marketing and promotion activities. This arrangement addresses the practical and regulatory difficulties PRC companies face in establishing overseas subsidiaries and obtaining approvals, and leverages the Group's existing licences and presence in jurisdictions such as Thailand and Hong Kong to facilitate Yunnan Baiyao Group's market entry.

Global Supply Chain Integration Services

The Group will provide Global Supply Chain Integration Services to Yunnan Baiyao Group, under which the Group will assist Yunnan Baiyao Group to source and integrate raw materials worldwide, including but not limited to, the procurement of overseas plantation and breeding resources (海外種植養殖資源), medical herbs and plant extracts, medical intermediates, cosmeceutical products, food ingredients, biologics and packaging materials. This involves the purchase of the raw materials from suppliers by the Group and the onward sale of the raw materials to Yunnan Baiyao Group. In particular, the control over the sources raw materials will first be acquired by the Group, and later transferred to Yunnan Baiyao Group upon the sales of such raw materials, the Group is in fact acting as a principal and not as an agent when such raw materials are being sourced. Such services are value-added to the Company's clients, including but not limited to Yunnan Baiyao Group, in terms of provision of expertise and services such as global sourcing, quality control, client services, etc. while bearing inventory risks.

Group Products Registration and Promotion Services

Yunnan Baiyao Group will (i) assist the Group on the registration of Group Products in the PRC pursuant to the relevant PRC regulatory and registration requirements; (ii) assist the Group on intellectual property registration of Group Products; (iii) provide PRC marketing services for Group Products; and (iv) provide PRC market expansion services to the Group.

While the Group will provide Yunnan Baiyao Group with YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services overseas, Yunnan Baiyao Group will provide the Group with Group Products Registration and Promotion Services in the PRC, so as to facilitate the Group's expansion of its business by introducing the Group Products into the PRC. Before such products can be sold in the PRC, they would also need to be registered and promoted in the PRC. The Group engages Yunnan Baiyao Group for provision of Group Products Registration and Promotion Services in the PRC as Yunnan Baiyao Group, whose principal businesses include pharmaceutical products, health products, Chinese medicine resources, and pharmaceutical logistics, has developed significant experience and expertise in promoting and launching products particularly pharmaceutical and health products, prior to their licensing in the PRC market.

YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution

The Group will act as a distributor of Yunnan Baiyao Group and will purchase and distribute YNBY Products in overseas markets, which involves the purchase of YNBY Products from Yunnan Baiyao Group by the Group for distribution to overseas markets, following the completion of the necessary product registrations and marketing and promotional activities.

  • 8 -

The Group will provide YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services and carry out YNBY Product Purchase and Distribution concurrently, as YNBY products may only be sold after the requisite product registrations have been obtained, and demand for YNBY Products is typically generated/boosted after appropriate marketing and promotional activities. In this regard, the Company has been granted exclusive distributorship authorization to distribute the products held/manufactured/sold by Yunnan Baiyao Group. For details of the authorization, please refer to the Company's announcement dated 18 June 2025. Therefore, the two services are closely connected for the purpose of integrated overseas market entry and commercialization process by the Group.

Pricing policy

Under the YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services, based on the Group's market research and after discussions with Yunnan Baiyao Group, the Parties agree that the Group will determine the service fee based on the expected costs incurred by the Group, e.g. actual costs incurred, plus a 10-15% mark-up for the Group being the agent to monitor the process and to ensure service quality, while comparing with prevailing market prices obtained from no less than two third-party service providers. The Group will obtain quotations from at least two Independent Third Parties that provide services similar to the YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services. The service fees shall be determined based on the abovementioned methods and shall be no less favourable than the service fees offered to/from other Independent Third Parties under the same terms and conditions and in compliance with the applicable local laws and regulations.

  • 9 -

Under the Global Supply Chain Integration Services, the Group will act as principal, but not an agent to source and procure raw materials for Yunnan Baiyao Group and will subsequently sell the raw materials to Yunnan Baiyao Group, who will acquire ownership over the raw materials. The Group will determine the selling price of the raw materials to be sold to Yunnan Baiyao Group based on prevailing market conditions and the pricing from third-party customers, including historical transactions or quotations from no less than two third-party customers. In particular, the Group will, on a quarterly basis, review the cost of acquiring the raw materials and the price for selling to Independent Third-Party customers to ensure the selling price offered to Yunnan Baiyao Group for raw materials is no less favourable to the Group than the price for selling the same to Independent Third-Party customers, by comparing at least two quotes from Independent Third Parties. In terms of the selling price, the Group will earn the difference between the cost of acquiring the raw materials and the selling price of the raw materials to Yunnan Baiyao Group. According to the Company’s audited accounts for the year ended 31 December 2025, the Company sold approximately HK$185 million of raw materials to Independent Third Party customers and the difference between the cost of acquiring the raw materials and the selling price of the raw materials sold to Independent Third Party customers was approximately 6%. When procuring the raw materials to be sold to Yunnan Baiyao Group, the Group will only procure such raw materials if the cost of those raw materials is (i) based on the prevailing market price for raw materials of the same kind at the time of the relevant transaction; and (ii) determined with reference to two or more quotations or tenders received from Independent Third Parties for raw materials of the same kind.

Under the Group Products Registration and Promotion Services, after discussions with Yunnan Baiyao Group, the Parties agree that Yunnan Baiyao Group will determine the service fee charged to the Group which is calculated on the basis of the anticipated cost to be borne by Yunnan Baiyao Group, together with certain mark-up for Yunnan Baiyao Group’s role as agent in overseeing the process and safeguarding service quality. The service fees shall be no less favourable to the Group than the service fees offered to/from other Independent Third Parties, by comparing at least two quotes from Independent Third Parties, under the same terms and conditions and in compliance with the applicable local laws and regulations.

Under the YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution arrangement, the Group will act as a distributor of Yunnan Baiyao Group and will purchase and distribute YNBY Products from Yunnan Baiyao Group in overseas markets. The pricing of such YNBY Products is (i) based on the prevailing market price of products of the same kind at the time of the relevant transaction; and (ii) determined with reference to two or more quotations or tenders received from Independent Third Parties for products of the same kind.

The Group shall only approve the relevant transactions in respect of the Group Products Registration and Promotion Services and YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution if the price payable by the Group will be on normal commercial terms or better, and on terms no less favourable to the Group than those available from Independent Third Parties and is fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Shareholders as a whole.

Payment terms
For each transaction contemplated under the 2026 Framework Agreement, the Parties will enter into a separate agreement to set out the payment terms for the relevant transaction by reference to the terms of the 2026 Framework Agreement.

Condition
precedent
The 2026 Framework Agreement will only be effective upon the passing of the necessary resolutions at the SGM to approve the execution of the 2026 Framework Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

  • 11 -

Proposed annual cap and the basis of the annual caps

The following table sets out the proposed annual caps under the 2026 Framework Agreement respectively:

Proposed annual caps
From the Effective Date to 31 December 2026 (HK$) For the year ending 31 December 2027 (HK$) For the year ending 31 December 2028 (HK$) From 1 January 2029 to the third anniversary of the Effective Date (HK$)
Services/Products to be purchased by Yunnan Baiyao Group (the "Framework Sales Agreement")
YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services 12 million 24 million 24 million 12 million
Global Supply Chain Integration Services 140 million 280 million 280 million 140 million
Total 152 million 304 million 304 million 152 million

The proposed annual caps are determined after taking into consideration of, among others, the following:

(i) the historical transaction amounts between the Parties in respect of the services of the same kind purchased by Yunnan Baiyao Group;

(ii) YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services: The annual caps of the YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services were also determined based on the expected Yunnan Baiyao Group's financial performance, including the foreign operation income to be generated by the anticipated demand for YNBY Products in the overseas markets and the expected corresponding level of services expenses to be incurred due to the expected foreign operation income generated by the said products, and the Group's understanding that Yunnan Baiyao Group intends to double their efforts to develop overseas markets. The ratio of expected corresponding level of service expenses, being the proposed annual cap (HK$24 million or approximately RMB22,018,349) of continuing connected transaction under the 2026 Framework Agreement, to the foreign operation income of Yunnan Baiyao Group (i.e. RMB358,673,284 and RMB109,121,473.77 for the years ended 31 December 2024 and 2025 respectively) ranges from 6.14% to 20.18%. The Company expects that the Group, as well as Yunnan Baiyao Group, will spend certain percentage of budgeted sales as promotion or marketing expenses

in order to boost future sales, and the ratio ranging from 6.14% to 20.18% is reasonable after considering (i) the foreign operating income of Yunnan Baiyao Group constituted only 0.90% and 0.26% of its total operation income for the years ended 31 December 2024 and 2025 respectively; and (ii) the Proposed Annual Cap of HK$24 million (or approximately RMB22,018,349) in relation to the YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services is limited in scale as it represents approximately 2.17% of the Group’s revenue of approximately HK$1,108.2 million for the year ended 31 December 2025 and approximately 0.05% of Yunnan Baiyao Group’s total operating income of RMB41,187 million for the year ended 31 December 2025. Therefore, the amount of proposed annual cap is appropriate; and

(iii) Global Supply Chain Integration Services: The proposed annual caps were determined by taking into account the expected continuing growth of the sales of raw materials to Yunnan Baiyao Group as Yunnan Baiyao Group grows their business, with the revenues of Yunnan Baiyao Group increased from approximately RMB36.5 billion for the year ended 31 December 2022 to RMB39.1 billion and RMB40.0 billion for the years ended 31 December 2023 and 2024 respectively according to its audited annual reports. While the actual transaction amount of this service for the year ended 31 December 2025 amounted to approximately HK$191 million, the Company is of the view that it would grow in line with the expected growth of revenue of Yunnan Baiyao Group, and set a safety ceiling on the proposed annual cap.

Proposed annual caps
From the Effective Date to 31 December 2026 (HK$) For the year ending 31 December 2027 (HK$) For the year ending 31 December 2028 (HK$) From 1 January 2029 to the third anniversary of the Effective Date (HK$)
Service/Products to be purchased by the Group (the "Framework Purchases Agreement")
Group Products Registration and Promotion Services 12 million 24 million 24 million 12 million
YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution 24 million 48 million 48 million 24 million
Total 36 million 72 million 72 million 36 million

The proposed annual caps are determined after taking into consideration of, among others, the following:

(i) the historical transaction amounts between the Parties in respect of the services of the same kind purchased by the Group;

(ii) Group Products Registration and Promotion Services: As there was no historical transaction in respect of the Group Products Registration and Promotion Services purchased by the Group under the Existing Framework Agreement, the annual caps of Group Products Registration and Promotion Services were estimated based on the Group’s internal promotion schedule and expected sales to be generated in PRC, which involves obtaining quotations from Independent Third Parties that provide services similar to the Group Products Registration and Promotion Services. The expected sales to be generated in the PRC are estimated based on the sales generated in Hong Kong in 2024 of approximately HK$695 million. The Group expects 10% of the aforementioned revenue will be generated from the PRC market in the coming years to capture growth opportunities in the PRC. The proposed annual caps are determined by applying a promotion-to-sales ratio of approximately 27% based on the Group’s recent transactions; and

(iii) YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution: The annual caps of YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution were estimated based on the volume of sales of YNBY Products which the Group is expected to procure based on the Group’s business plan for the expansion of market shares of YNBY Products in the overseas markets; and the market trend and demand for products that share similar nature and uses with YNBY Products for the upcoming three years. The Company has managed sizable sales in Hong Kong, Indonesia, and USA markets, and is working hard to further penetrate other overseas markets, particularly in places where the Company already has subsidiaries in operation, including but not limited to South Korea, Japan, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Canada, and the UK. The proposed annual caps are set at three times of the largest annual transaction amount recorded over the past three years (i.e. HK$16,585,532 for the year ended 31 December 2024), with a slight discount of approximately 3.5%, after considering the expansion of market shares of YNBY Products in the overseas markets and the anticipated moderation of United States tariff war in the future.

Note: For the purpose of calculating utilization rate, the annual cap is pro-rata to nine months which align with the audited financial statement of the Group for the nine months ended 31 December 2023.

The low utilization rates, the nil transaction amounts, and the factors affecting the proposed annual caps under the 2026 Framework Agreement are explained as below:

Products Registration and Promotion Services

The low utilization rates are mainly attributable to the delay in business development in the overseas markets of Yunnan Baiyao Group triggered by Sino-America geopolitical conflicts and tariff conflicts. The Company is of the view that such circumstances are improving due to the anticipated moderation of United States tariff war and the Group's establishment of multiple trading entities across Southeast Asia, which reduce the Group's exposure to risks associated with over-concentration in single market. Accordingly, the Company expects to carry out the proposed annual caps in relation to the YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services.

Global Supply Chain Integration Services

The increase in utilization rates across the transaction periods is consistent with the continuous development of the Group’s principal business, being the trading of goods and commodities business, which mainly comprises e-commerce and general trading business and raw materials trading business, and provision of professional services. By taking into consideration (i) the reduced proposed annual caps (HK$280 million) in relation to the Global Supply Chain Integration Services as compared with the previous cap (HK$300 million) is expected to further increase the future utilization rates; and (ii) the ongoing expansion of the Group’s core operation which necessitates greater supply chain integration support, the Company is of the view that the proposed annual caps are appropriate.

Professional Supporting Services

The reason for nil utilisation during the transaction periods is that instead of the proposed OEM/ODM related services on behalf of Yunnan Baiyao Group, the Company has decided to arrange manufacturing on its own. As such, the Company has decided not to renew the continuing connected transaction in respect of this category.

Sales and distribution of Group Products to the PRC

The reason for nil utilisation during the transaction periods is that Group Products might have been registered and promoted before relevant sizable sales were achieved. As such, the Company has decided not to renew the continuing connected transaction in respect of this category. Instead, the Company proposed that Yunnan Baiyao Group provide product registration and promotion services in the PRC.

Sales and distribution of YNBY Products to the overseas markets

The low utilisation rates are mainly attributable to (i) the Group’s Hong Kong distributor underwent a change in shareholding, which resulted in the audited actual revenue for the year ended 31 December 2025 being lower than the projection made in prior year; and (ii) the impact of United States tariff war, as a result of which overseas sales demand and the Group’s corresponding procurement decreased. Therefore, the YNBY Products purchased and distributed by the Group did not reach the level originally estimated at the material time, attributable to the aforesaid factors. By considering: (i) the substantially reduced proposed annual cap (HK$48 million) in relation to the YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution as compared with the previous cap (HK$200 million); (ii) the volume of sales of YNBY Products which the Group is expected to procure based on the Group’s business plan for the expansion of market shares of YNBY Products in the overseas markets; and (iii) the market trend and demand for products that share similar nature and uses with YNBY Products, including the global recognition of Traditional Chinese Medicine driven by the Chinese government’s proactive promotion of scientific innovation and internationalisation, for the upcoming three years, the Company is of the view that the proposed annual caps are appropriate.

As the term of Existing Framework Agreement commenced on 15 May 2023 and will expire on 14 May 2026, the Company expects that it would not exceed the de minimis threshold for the period from 1 January 2026 to the Effective Date.

(ii) the Group’s Finance Department will review and compare at least two quotes from Independent Third Parties with the service fees to be charged under the Framework Sales Agreement and the pricing of Group Products Registration and Promotion Services and YNBY Products under the Framework Purchases Agreement when determining whether the relevant service fees and pricings are fair and reasonable;

(iii) the Group’s Finance Department will monitor the transaction amounts under the Framework Sales Agreement and the Framework Purchases Agreement by preparing designated management accounts for the continuing connected transactions therein on a regular basis to make sure that the actual contract amounts do not exceed the relevant annual caps;

(v) during its annual audit, the Company will engage its auditors to review the continuing connected transactions to ensure that the transactions under the 2026 Framework Agreement have been approved by the Board and conducted in accordance with the pricing policies, the terms of such agreement and the caps thereunder; and

(vi) the independent non-executive Directors will also review the continuing connected transactions under the 2026 Framework Agreement and on an annual basis confirm whether such continuing connected transactions have been conducted in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, on normal commercial terms or better, on terms that are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Shareholders as a whole, and whether the internal control procedures put in place by the Company are adequate and effective to ensure that such continuing connected transactions are conducted in accordance with the pricing policies.

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In arriving at our opinion in respect of the 2026 Framework Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, we have taken into consideration the following principal factors and reasons:

1. Principal business and financial information of the Group

a) Background information of the Group

The Company is an investment holding company. The Group was principally engaged in trading of goods and commodities. The following table summarises the consolidated financial results of the Group for the years ended 31 December 2025, 2024 and 2023, which are extracted from the Company's annual results announcement for the year ended 31 December 2025 (the "2025 Annual Results") and annual report for the year ended 31 December 2024 (the "2024 Annual Report"):

According to the 2025 Annual Results, the Group's revenue increased by approximately HK$353.2 million or 46.8% from approximately HK$754.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2024 to approximately HK$1,108.2 million for the year ended 31 December 2025. Such increase was mainly attributable to the increase in income from trading of goods and commodities segment which recorded segment profit of approximately HK$39.3 million for the year ended 31 December 2025, compared to approximately HK$54.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2024. The improvement on the segment revenue is mainly attributable to expansion e-commerce and general trading business for the year ended 31 December 2025, while the decrease on the segment profit is mainly attributable to the decrease in gross profits, which resulted from the decrease of the gross margin of the Group from approximately 8.74% in FY2024 to approximately 4.63% in FY2025 due to the decrease in sales of products with higher gross profit margin.

The gross profit of the Group decreased from approximately HK$66.0 million for the year ended 31 December 2024 to approximately HK$51.3 million for the year ended 31 December 2025, representing a decrease of approximately 22.3%.

Financial performance for the year ended 31 December 2024 and the year ended 31 December 2023

According to the 2024 Annual Report, the Group's revenue increased by approximately HK$176.2 million or 30.4% from approximately HK$578.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2023 to approximately HK$754.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2024. Such increase was mainly attributable to the increase in income from trading of goods and commodities segment which recorded segment profit of approximately HK$54.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2024, compared to approximately HK$41.0 million for the year ended 31 December 2023. The improvement on the segment revenue and segment results is mainly attributable to (i) longer accounting period covered for the year ended 31 December 2024 for which the accounting periods covered 12 months for the year ended 31 December 2024 and 9 months for the year ended 31 December 2023, respectively, and (ii) expansion of distribution of the YNBY products with higher profit margin for the year ended 31 December 2024.

The gross profit of the Group increased from approximately HK$49.6 million for the year ended 31 December 2023 to approximately HK$66.0 million for the year ended 31 December 2024, representing an increase of approximately 33.1%.

As set out in 2024 Annual Report, it is also noted that profit attributable to owners of the Company decreased by approximately RMB125.6 million or approximately 87.4%, from approximately RMB143.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2023 to approximately RMB18.1 million for the year ended 31 December 2024.

Pursuant to the Framework Purchases Agreement, the service/products to be purchased by the Group primarily include, (i) Group Products Registration and Promotion Services, such as (a) registration of Group Products (i.e. healthcare and food products manufactured by the Group or any authorized manufacturer of the Group) in the PRC pursuant to the relevant PRC regulatory and registration requirements; (b) intellectual property registration of Group Products (i.e. healthcare and food products manufactured by the Group or any authorized manufacturer of the Group); (c) PRC marketing services for Group Products (i.e. healthcare and food products manufactured by the Group or any authorized manufacturer of the Group); and (d) PRC market expansion services provided to the Group; and (ii) YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution that the Group will act as a distributor of Yunnan Baiyao Group and will purchase and distribute YNBY Products (i.e. including but not limited to medical products, medical machineries, chemical products, and industrial products manufactured by Yunnan Baiyao Group) in overseas markets.

With a view to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the transactions contemplated under the 2026 Framework Agreement, we have set our work performed on the respective types of services and products below.

YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services

We noted from the pricing policy under the YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services, the Group will determine the service fee based on the expected costs incurred, plus a 10 to 15% mark-up for the Group being the agent to monitor the process and to ensure service quality, while comparing with prevailing market prices obtained from no less than two third-party service providers.

With a view to assess the reasonableness of the service fees charged by the Group to Yunnan Baiyao Group for providing the YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services, we have obtained and reviewed a total of one sample transaction under the Existing Framework Agreement, which was carried out during the year ended 31 December 2023, with a transaction amount of approximately HK$9,200,000 (the “Sampled YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services Transaction”). We have discussed and understood from the Management that only one transaction was carried out during the period under the Existing Framework Agreement. We understood from the Management that the service fees charged by the Group to Yunnan Baiyao Group in relation to the Sampled YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services Transaction was determined based on the average mark-up of approximately 11% charged in relation to the promotion fees actually incurred overseas by the Group during the period from July 2022 to June 2023.

We have also obtained and reviewed pricing report issued by Chongqing Branch of Shanghai Deloitte Tax Ltd. (上海德勤税務師事務所有限公司重慶分所) (“Deloitte”) as of July 2023 for the purpose of performing a transfer pricing analysis on the connected transactions between the Company and Yunnan Baiyao Group (the “Pricing Report”). The Pricing Report adopted the full cost-plus method as the pricing approach in relation to YNBY Product Registration and Promotion Services. Under the full cost-plus method adopted in the Pricing Report, the full cost-plus rate equals the ratio of earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) to total cost, where total cost excludes non-operating expenses such as interest and taxes. Based on our review of the Pricing Report, we noted that the Pricing Report stated that, based on Deloitte’s experience and market observation, the interquartile range of the full cost plus rate companies engaged in similar promotional services is typically between 5% and 15%, and that the service fees fall within this range.

In this connection, we compared the Sampled YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services Transaction under the Existing Framework Agreement against the Pricing Report for reasonableness. Based on this comparison, we noted that the 11% mark-up falls within the aforesaid interquartile range, i.e. 5% to 15%. Based on our work performed, we are of the view that the service fees charged for the Sampled YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services Transaction are no less favourable than the service fees offered to/from other Independent Third Parties for similar promotional services, and considered that the service fees charged to be consistent with market benchmarks.

On this basis, we are of the view that the pricing policy for the provision of YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services by the Group to Yunnan Baiyao Group under the Existing Framework Agreement are fair and reasonable.

  • 40 -

Based on (i) our obtaining and review of the Sampled YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services Transaction; (ii) our understanding from the Management that the service fees charged by the Group to Yunnan Baiyao Group for the Sampled YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services Transaction were determined using an average mark-up of approximately 11% applied to the fees actually incurred overseas by the Group from July 2022 to June 2023, and we obtained from the Management the total actual fee incurred overseas for each relevant period within July 2022 to June 2023, (iii) our obtaining and review of the Pricing Report, which showed that the interquartile range of the full cost plus markup for companies engaged in similar promotional services is typically between 5% and 15%, and (iv) our comparison, which demonstrated that the service fees fall within the range of the Pricing Report, and we are of the view that the service fees charged for the Sampled YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services Transaction are no less favourable than the service fees offered to/from other Independent Third Parties for similar promotional services, and considered that the service fees charged to be consistent with market benchmarks, we are therefore of the opinion that the results of our work are sufficient to evaluate the reasonableness of the pricing policy.

With a view to assess the reasonableness of the selling price of the raw materials to be sold to Yunnan Baiyao Group, and given the Group will earn the difference between the cost of acquiring the raw materials and the selling price of the raw materials to Yunnan Baiyao Group, we have obtained and reviewed a total of six sample transactions, including three sample historical transactions under the Existing Framework Agreement (the "Sampled Global Supply Chain Integration Services Connected Transaction(s)") and three sample transactions entered into with Independent Third Parties (the "Sampled Global Supply Chain Integration Services I3P Transaction(s)"), where the Sampled Global Supply Chain Integration Services I3P Transactions refer to transactions that the Company entered into with Independent Third Parties for the procurement of raw materials (i.e. the Independent Third Parties supplied raw materials to the Group) (together, the "Sampled Global Supply Chain Integration Services Transaction(s)"). As discussed with the Management, no transactions involving Independent Third Parties in respect of Global Supply Chain Integration Services were carried out during the term of the Existing Framework Agreement. Accordingly, our analysis can only be performed by reference to the prices charged by Independent Third Parties for raw material procurement against the historical transaction prices under the Existing Framework Agreement. The Sampled Global Supply Chain Integration Services Transactions are considered comparable, as they involve raw materials of the same nature supplied by Independent Third Parties and sold to Yunnan Baiyao Group, respectively.

Considering that (i) the Sampled Global Supply Chain Integration Services Transactions collectively cover different time periods across the years ended 31 December 2023, 2024 and 2025, including different months within each of those years; and (ii) the Sampled Global Supply Chain Integration Services Transactions involve identical goods, namely Calcium Hydrogen Phosphate, and consistent payment terms, we considered the Sampled Global Supply Chain Integration Services Transactions is sufficient and representative to determine the reasonableness of the selling price of the raw materials to be sold to Yunnan Baiyao Group.

The Sampled Global Supply Chain Integration Services Transactions were carried out during the years ended 31 December, 2023, 2024 and 2025, being the most recent three financial years of the Company, and selected on a random basis which covered different months of the years ended 31 December, 2023, 2024 and 2025 involving the Group will act as principal, but not an agent to source and procure raw materials for Yunnan Baiyao Group and will subsequently sell the raw materials to Yunnan Baiyao Group, who will acquire ownership over the raw materials and in relation to the difference between the cost of acquiring the raw materials and the selling price of the raw materials to Yunnan Baiyao Group. Hence, we considered such sampled transactions for the assessment of the selling price of the raw materials to be sold to Yunnan Baiyao Group to be fair and representative. In this connection, we compared the sample historical transactions under the Existing Framework Agreement against similar transactions entered into between the Group and Independent Third Parties for reasonableness.

Given that the Sampled Global Supply Chain Integration Services Transactions included historical transactions under the Existing Framework Agreement and entered into with Independent Third Parties and that they were carried out during the years ended 31 December, 2023, 2024 and 2025, we consider the above samples to be appropriate for the purpose of our analysis.

  • 42 -

We noted that the Company will earn the difference between the cost of acquiring the raw materials and the selling price of the raw materials to Yunnan Baiyao Group that the difference between the cost of acquiring the raw materials and the selling price of the raw materials sold to Independent Third Party customers was approximately 6%, in respect of which the difference between the cost of acquiring the raw materials and the selling price of the raw materials sold to Independent Third Party customers with the Sampled Global Supply Chain Integration Services Connected Transactions (defined thereafter) was higher than 6%, which was noted to be in the region of 7% and 9%. We noted that the Group will only procure such raw materials if the cost of those raw materials is (i) based on the prevailing market price for raw materials of the same kind at the time of the relevant transaction; and (ii) determined with reference to two or more quotations or tenders received from Independent Third Parties for raw materials of the same kind. In any case, based on our comparison of the selling price offered to Yunnan Baiyao Group for raw materials under the Sampled Global Supply Chain Integration Services Connected Transactions for the Global Supply Chain Integration Services was no less favourable to the Group than the price for selling the same to Independent Third Party customers under the Sampled Global Supply Chain Integration Services I3P Transactions for similar Global Supply Chain Integration Services.

Based on our work performed, which included the comparison of the selling price of the raw materials to Yunnan Baiyao Group of the Sampled Global Supply Chain Integration Services Connected Transactions against the Sampled Global Supply Chain Integration Services I3P Transaction, we noted that the selling price of the raw materials to Yunnan Baiyao Group under the Sampled Global Supply Chain Integration Services Connected Transactions were no less favourable than the similar Sampled Global Supply Chain Integration Services I3P Transactions.

On this basis, we are of the view that the pricing policy for the provision of services by the Group to Yunnan Baiyao Group to source and integrate raw materials worldwide under the Existing Framework Agreement are fair and reasonable.

Based on (i) our understanding from the Management that the difference between the cost of acquiring the raw materials and the selling price of the raw materials sold to Independent Third Party customers was approximately 6%; (ii) our obtaining and review of the Sampled Global Supply Chain Integration Services Transactions, which showed that the difference between the cost of acquiring the raw materials and the selling price of the raw materials sold to Independent Third Party customers with the Sampled Global Supply Chain Integration Services Connected Transactions was higher than 6%, which was noted to be in the region of 7% and 9%; and (iii) our comparison, which demonstrated that the selling price of the raw materials to Yunnan Baiyao Group under the Sampled Global Supply Chain Integration Services Connected Transactions were no less favourable than the similar Sampled Global Supply Chain Integration Services I3P Transactions for similar goods, we are therefore of the opinion that the results of our work are sufficient to evaluate the reasonableness of the pricing policy.

As stated in the Letter from the Board, the basis of the price and terms of Group Products Registration and Promotion Services under the 2026 Framework Agreement, based on the discussions with Yunnan Baiyao Group that the Parties agree that Yunnan Baiyao Group will determine the service fee charged to the Group which is calculated on the basis of the anticipated cost to be borne by Yunnan Baiyao Group, together with certain mark-up for Yunnan Baiyao Group’s role as agent in overseeing the process and safeguarding service quality.

We have obtained and reviewed (i) two quotations from Independent Third Parties; and (ii) a product promotion service agreement entered into with Yunnan Baiyao Group on 1 January 2026 (the “Group Products Promotion Services Agreement”) for services of a comparable nature. The two quotations from Independent Third Parties and the Group Products Promotion Services Agreement are considered comparable, as they involve services of the same nature proposed to be provided by Independent Third Parties and Yunnan Baiyao Group, respectively, with same scope, duration, and geographical reach.

With a view to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the service fee charged to the Group by Yunnan Baiyao Group, we have compared the total proposed fee charged by Yunnan Baiyao Group against the total proposed fee amounts stated in the two quotations obtained from Independent Third Parties. The two quotations obtained from Independent Third Parties proposed total lump-sum service fees of RMB3.1 million and RMB3.5 million, respectively, while the Group Products Promotion Services Agreement entered into with Yunnan Baiyao Group proposed a fee of RMB2.45 million, as quoted by Yunnan Baiyao Group for services of same scope, duration and geographical reach.

Based on our comparison of the total proposed fee charged by Yunnan Baiyao Group of RMB2.45 million against the two quotations obtained from Independent Third Parties of RMB3.1 million and RMB3.5 million respectively, Yunnan Baiyao Group’s proposed fee was no less favourable than the prices quoted by Independent Third Parties for comparable services. Accordingly, we considered that the pricing policy results in a total fee that is fair from a quantitative perspective when benchmarked against independent market quotations.

  • 44 -

As such, the service fees shall be no less favourable to the Group than the service fees offered to/from other Independent Third Parties, by comparing at least two quotes from Independent Third Parties, under the same terms and conditions and in compliance with the applicable laws and regulations.

In addition, the Company has adopted measures with respect to the transactions contemplated under the 2026 Framework Agreement in order to further safeguard the interests of the Shareholders, details of which are set out under the section headed "INTERNAL CONTROL MEASURES" of the Letter from the Board.

In this connection, we have obtained and reviewed the internal procedures of the Group governing the transactions contemplated under the 2026 Framework Agreement with a view to ensure that the terms of the Group Products Registration and Promotion Services shall be no less favourable than the service fees offered to/from other Independent Third Parties under the same terms and conditions and in compliance with the relevant laws and regulations in the PRC and Hong Kong, which involves, among others, the review and approval of the terms of relevant transactions by the relevant department and the Management prior to entering into the transactions. With a view to ensure that the transactions pursuant to the 2026 Framework Agreement are conducted on normal commercial terms, the relevant designated personnel of the Group shall review and assess whether the transactions contemplated under the 2026 Framework Agreement are conducted in accordance with the relevant terms prior to the transactions. As advised by the Management, such internal procedures will be adopted and shall apply to transactions contemplated under the 2026 Framework Agreement for a period of three years commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the third anniversary of the Effective Date. We have discussed and understood from the Management that (i) the Group's Internal Audit Department will oversee all individual agreements entered into with the Yunnan Baiyao Group to ensure their compliance with the pricing policy established in the 2026 Framework Agreement; (ii) when determining whether the pricing of Group Products Registration and Promotion Services and YNBY Products under the Framework Purchases Agreement is fair and reasonable, the Group's Finance Department will review and compare at least two quotes obtained from Independent Third Parties; (iii) to ensure compliance with the annual caps, the Group's Finance Department will regularly prepare designated management accounts for the continuing connected transactions, thereby monitoring the transaction amounts under the Framework Purchases Agreement; and (iv) prior to executing any individual agreement, the Group's Finance Department will evaluate whether the contract value of such individual agreement, when combined with the actual contract amounts recorded in the latest monthly designated management accounts for continuing connected transactions, would exceed the proposed annual caps for the relevant periods, which shall ensure the transactions under the 2026 Framework Agreement to be conducted on terms not less favourable to the Group than those available from Independent Third Parties.

With a view to assess the reasonableness of the price payable by the Group in relation to YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution and given the pricing of such YNBY Products is based on the prevailing market price of products of the same kind at the time of the relevant transaction, we have obtained and reviewed a total of ten sample transactions, including five sample historical transactions under the Existing Framework Agreement (the "Sampled YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution Connected Transaction(s)") and five sample transactions entered into with Independent Third Parties (the "Sampled YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution I3P Transaction(s)"), where the Sampled YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution I3P Transactions refer to transactions that the Company entered into with Independent Third Parties for the sales of YNBY Products (i.e. the Group sold YNBY Products to the Independent Third Parties) (together, the "Sampled YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution Transaction(s)"). As we have discussed and understood from the Management that no transaction with Independent Third Parties in relation to YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution was carried out during the period under the Existing Framework Agreement. Accordingly, our analysis can only be performed by reference to the prices payable by Independent Third Parties for sales of YNBY Products against the historical transaction prices under the Existing Framework Agreement. The Sampled YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution Transactions are considered comparable, as they involve YNBY Products of the same nature sold to Independent Third Parties and supplied by Yunnan Baiyao Group, respectively.

Considering that (i) the Sampled YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution Transactions collectively cover different time periods across the years ended 31 December 2023, 2024 and 2025, including different months within each of those years; and (ii) the Sampled YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution Transactions involve identical goods and consistent payment terms, we considered the Sampled YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution Transactions is sufficient and representative to determine the reasonableness of the price payable by the Group in relation to YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution.

The Sampled YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution Transactions were carried out during the years ended 31 December, 2023, 2024 and 2025, being the most recent three financial years of the Company, and selected on a random basis which covered different months of the year ended 31 December, 2023, 2024 and 2025 involving the Group will act as a distributor of Yunnan Baiyao Group and will purchase and distribute YNBY Products from Yunnan Baiyao Group in overseas markets and in relation to the pricing of such YNBY Products. Hence, we considered such sampled transactions for the assessment of the price payable by the Group in relation to YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution to be fair and representative. In this connection, we compared the sample historical transactions under the Existing Framework Agreement against similar transactions entered into between the Group and Independent Third Parties for reasonableness.

  • 46 -

Given that the Sampled YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution Transactions included historical transactions under the Existing Framework Agreement and entered into with Independent Third Parties and that they were carried out during the years ended 31 December, 2023, 2024 and 2025, we consider the above samples to be appropriate for the purpose of our analysis.

We noted that the pricing of such YNBY Products is (i) based on the prevailing market price of products of the same kind at the time of the relevant transaction; and (ii) determined with reference to two or more quotations or tenders received from Independent Third Parties for products of the same kind. In this regard, we have obtained and reviewed the Sampled YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution Transactions. In any case, based on our comparison of the pricing of such YNBY Products under the Sampled YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution Connected Transactions for the YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution was no less favourable than the price of products of the same kind under the Sampled YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution I3P Transactions.

Based on our work performed, which included the comparison of the pricing of such YNBY Products of the Sampled YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution Connected Transactions against the Sampled YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution I3P Transactions, we noted that the pricing of such YNBY Products under the Sampled YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution Connected Transactions were no less favourable than the similar Sampled YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution I3P Transactions.

On this basis, we are of the view that the pricing policy for the YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution purchased by the Group to act as a distributor of Yunnan Baiyao Group and purchase and distribute YNBY Products in overseas markets under the Existing Framework Agreement are fair and reasonable.

Based on (i) our obtaining and review of the Sampled YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution Transactions, which showed that the difference between the cost of acquiring the YNBY Product and the selling price of the YNBY Product sold to Independent Third Party customers; and (ii) our comparison, which demonstrated that the price payable by the Group under the Sampled YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution Connected Transactions were no less favourable than the similar Sampled YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution I3P Transactions for similar goods, we are therefore of the opinion that the results of our work are sufficient to evaluate the reasonableness of the pricing policy.

As part of our work performed on the internal procedures of the Group governing the transactions contemplated under the 2026 Framework Agreement, we have reviewed the relevant internal procedures and obtained supporting documents from the Management for the sampled transactions, including supporting information and documents for price determination, as well as management information system screen prints evidencing the approval by the relevant personnel from different departments and the respective agreements, in respect of (i) YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services with one sample transaction, as only one transaction was carried out under the Existing Framework Agreement (i.e. the Sampled YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services Transaction). Accordingly, we obtained and reviewed this sole transaction. In addition, we obtained the Pricing Report for comparison purposes, along with supporting information and documents including relevant figures from Management for fees actually incurred overseas by the Group historically, and management information system screen prints evidencing approval by relevant personnel from different departments. On this basis, we considered the selected documents are sufficient and representative; (ii) Global Supply Chain Integration Services with six sample transactions (i.e. the Sampled Global Supply Chain Integration Services Transactions), supporting information and documents including management information system screen prints evidencing approval by relevant personnel from different departments and the respective agreements; (iii) Group Products Registration and Promotion Services with supporting information and documents including two quotations from Independent Third Parties and the Group Products Promotion Services Agreement; and (iv) YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution with ten sample transactions (i.e. the Sampled YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution Transactions), supporting information and documents including management information system screen prints evidencing approval by relevant personnel from different departments and the respective agreements. We have selected the above samples based on considering different time periods across the years ended 31 December 2023, 2024 and 2025, including different months within each of those years, for identical goods or services of each service or goods type. In our view, the selected samples are sufficient and representative as they cover each service category and reflect the approval workflow for every sample transaction, all of which were selected on a random basis. Based on our work performed in relation to the sampled transactions, we considered that appropriate internal approval procedures are in place to safeguard the interests of the Independent Shareholders.

With a view to ensure that the transactions pursuant to the 2026 Framework Agreement are conducted on normal commercial terms, the relevant personnel and the Management shall also review and assess whether the transactions contemplated under the 2026 Framework Agreement are conducted in accordance with the relevant terms thereunder. As advised by the Management, similar internal procedures will continue to be applied to transactions contemplated under the 2026 Framework Agreement.

Summary

Based on our work and analysis performed on, among others, the pricing policies and internal control procedures implemented by the Group, such as (i) the sampled transactions obtained and reviewed were conducted in accordance with the applicable stated pricing policies of the Group; (ii) the Management has confirmed that the transactions between the Group and the Yunnan Baiyao Group under the Existing Framework Agreement have been in compliance with the relevant internal control procedures and pricing policies thereunder; and (iii) the continuing connected transactions are subject to review by the independent non-executive Directors on an annual basis and that the auditors of the Company would also conduct an annual review on the pricing policies, the terms of such agreement and the relevant annual caps under the 2026 Framework Agreement, we are of the view that the effective implementation of the internal control procedures and pricing policies under the 2026 Framework Agreement should ensure the transactions contemplated thereunder to be conducted on normal commercial terms that are fair and reasonable.

In determining the above annual caps, the Company has considered a range of factors which have been summarised from the Letter from the Board below:

YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services

(i) the historical transaction amounts between the Parties in respect of the services of the same kind purchased by Yunnan Baiyao Group; and

(ii) the annual caps of the YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services were also determined based on the expected Yunna Baiyao Group’s financial performance, including the foreign operation income to be generated by the anticipated demand for YNBY Products in the overseas markets and the expected corresponding level of services expenses to be incurred due to the expected foreign operation income generated by the said products, and the Group’s understanding that Yunnan Baiyao Group intends to double their efforts to develop overseas markets. The ratio of expected corresponding level of service expenses, being the proposed annual cap (HK$24 million or approximately RMB22,018,349) of continuing connected transaction under the 2026 Framework Agreement, to the foreign operation income of Yunnan Baiyao Group (i.e. RMB358,673,284 and RMB109,121,473.77 for the years ended 31 December 2024 and 2025 respectively) ranges from 6.14% to 20.18%. The Company expects the Group, as well as Yunnan Baiyao Group, will spend certain percentage of budgeted sales as promotion or marketing expenses in order to boost future sales, and that the ratio ranging from 6.14% to 20.18% is reasonable after considering (i) the foreign operating income of Yunnan Baiyao Group constituted only 0.90% and 0.26% of its total operation income for the years ended 31 December 2024 and 2025 respectively; and (ii) the Proposed Annual Cap of HK$24 million (or approximately RMB22,018,349) in relation to the YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services is limited in scale as it represents approximately 2.17% of the Group’s revenue of approximately HK$1,108.2 million for the year ended 31 December 2025 and approximately 0.05% of Yunnan Baiyao Group’s total operating income of RMB41,187 million for the year ended 31 December 2025. Therefore, the amount of proposed annual cap is appropriate.

(ii) the proposed annual caps were determined by taking into account the expected continuing growth of the sales of raw materials to Yunnan Baiyao Group as Yunan Baiyao Group grows their business, with the revenues of Yunnan Baiyao Group increased from approximately RMB36.5 billion for the year ended 31 December 2022 to RMB39.1 billion and RMB40.0 billion for the years ended 31 December 2023 and 2024 respectively according to its audited annual reports. While the actual transaction amount of this service for the year ended 31 December 2025 amounted to approximately HK$191 million, the Company is of the view that it would grow in line with the expected growth of revenue of Yunnan Baiyao Group, and set a safety ceiling on the proposed annual cap.

(i) the historical transaction amounts between the Parties in respect of the Group Products Registration and Promotion Services of the same kind purchased by the Group; and

(ii) as there was no historical transaction in respect of the Group Products Registration and Promotion Services purchased by the Group under the Existing Framework Agreement, the annual caps of Group Products Registration and Promotion Services were estimated based on the Group's internal promotion schedule and expected sales to be generated in PRC, which involves obtaining quotations from Independent Third Parties that provide services similar to the Group Products Registration and Promotion Services. The expected sales to be generated in the PRC are estimated based on the sales generated in Hong Kong in 2024 of approximately HK$695 million. The Group expects 10% of the aforementioned revenue will be generated from the PRC market in the coming years to capture growth opportunities in the PRC. The proposed annual caps are determined by applying a promotion-to-sales ratio of approximately 27% based on the Group's recent transactions.

(i) the historical transaction amounts between the Parties in respect of the YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution purchased by the Group; and

(ii) the annual caps of YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution were estimated based on the volume of sales of YNBY Products which the Group is expected to procure based on the Group’s business plan for the expansion of market shares of YNBY Products in the overseas markets; and the market trend and demand for products that share similar nature and uses with YNBY Products for the upcoming three years. The Company has managed sizable sales in Hong Kong, Indonesia, and USA markets, and is working hard to further penetrate other overseas markets, particularly in places where the Company already has subsidiaries in operation, including but not limited to South Korea, Japan, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Canada, and the UK. The annual caps of YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution are set at three times of the largest annual transaction amount recorded over the past three years (i.e. HK$16,585,532 for the year ended 31 December 2024), with a slight discount of approximately 3.5%, after considering the expansion of market shares of YNBY Products in the overseas markets and the anticipated moderation of United States tariff war in the future.

For further information in relation to the basis of the respective proposed annual caps under the 2026 Framework Agreement for each of the years ending 31 December 2026, 2027 and 2028 (the “Proposed Annual Caps”), please refer to the section headed “Proposed annual cap and the basis of the annual caps” in the Letter from the Board.

Our analysis on the Proposed Annual Caps

The following sets out our analysis on the Proposed Annual Caps for each of the respective type of services.

YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services

The Proposed Annual Caps in relation to the YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services under the 2026 Framework Agreement for each of the three years ending 31 December 2026, 2027 and 2028 is HK$24.0 million (the “2026 YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services Annual Cap”), HK$24.0 million (the “2027 YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services Annual Cap”) and HK$24.0 million (the “2028 YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services Annual Cap”) respectively.

In assessing the reasonableness of the Proposed Annual Caps in relation to the YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services, we have considered the historical amount initially. Based on our analysis, we noted that the utilisation rate of the annual caps in relation to YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services under the Existing Framework Agreement were approximately 49.1% for the nine months ended 31 December 2023, nil for the year ended 31 December 2024 and nil for the year ended 31 December 2025. We have discussed and understood from the Management that the aforesaid low utilisation rates were mainly attributable to the delay in business development to the overseas markets of Yunnan Baiyao Group triggered by Sino-America geopolitical conflicts and tariff conflicts. We have discussed and understand from the Management that the relevant circumstances have been progressively improving. Based on current assessments from the Management, it is anticipated that the affected business activities will resume normal operations no later than the year ending 31 December 2026. Accordingly, it is expected to implement the 2026 YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services Annual Cap for each of the three years ending 31 December 2026, 2027 and 2028. Given the aforesaid reasons for and factors affecting the historical utilisation rate, namely the delay in business development, which are non-recurring in nature and the Management does not expect such to have a continuing effect on the Proposed Annual Caps in relation to the YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services as the Management considered Yunnan Baiyao Group's historical financial performance, specifically its foreign operating income and the implied level of service expenses in relation to YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services that would be supported by such income. For comparative purposes, the Proposed Annual Caps of HK$24.0 million in relation to the YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services under the 2026 Framework Agreement for each of the years ending 31 December 2026, 2027 and 2028 converts to approximately RMB22,018,349 at the applicable exchange rate.

  • 56 -

To assess the basis of the Proposed Annual Caps in relation to the YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services, we have conducted additional analysis in this connection, we noted from Yunnan Baiyao Group's annual report for the year ended 31 December 2024 (the "Yunnan Baiyao Group's 2024 Annual Report") that the reported foreign operating income of approximately RMB358,673,284 for the full year 2024, representing approximately 0.90% of its total operating income. When measured against the reported foreign operating income, the Proposed Annual Caps in relation to the YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services of approximately HK$24.0 million (equivalent to approximately RMB22,018,349) would represent a ratio of approximately 6.14%. Furthermore, when considering actual data for the full year 2025 of Yunnan Baiyao Group, the ratio would be at approximately 20.18%, a calculation based on Yunnan Baiyao Group's annual report for the year ended 31 December 2025 (the "Yunnan Baiyao Group's 2025 Annual Report") which recorded foreign operating income of approximately RMB109,121,473.77 for the year ended 31 December 2025, representing approximately 0.26% of its total operating income. When measured against the Proposed Annual Caps in relation to the YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services of approximately HK$24.0 million (equivalent to approximately RMB22,018,349), the resulting ratio supports a higher percentage than the historical level observed in 2024 (i.e. approximately 6.14%). The Proposed Annual Caps in relation to the YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services, when expressed as a percentage of Yunnan Baiyao Group's foreign operating income for the financial year 2024 and the financial year 2025, yields ratios ranging from approximately 6.14% to 20.18%. Notably, the foreign operating income of Yunnan Baiyao Group constituted only 0.90% and 0.26% of its total operating income for the years ended 31 December 2024 and 2025, respectively, reflecting the relatively small scale of its foreign operations in the context of Yunnan Baiyao Group's overall business. Notwithstanding the difference between the ratios of 6.14% for the financial year 2024 and 20.18% for the financial year 2025, the Proposed Annual Caps of HK$24.0 million in relation to the YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services remain justified. The Proposed Annual Caps of HK$24.0 million in relation to the YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services represent approximately 2.17% of the Company's revenue of approximately HK$1,108.2 million for the year ended 31 December 2025 and approximately 0.05% of Yunnan Baiyao Group's total operating income of RMB41,187.0 million for the year ended 31 December 2025, which demonstrate that the Proposed Annual Caps in relation to the YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services are limited in scale when compared to both the Company's revenue scale and Yunnan Baiyao Group's overall business size. Even when compared against the lower foreign operating income base of RMB109.1 million for the year ended 31 December 2025, which yields a higher ratio of 20.18%, the Proposed Annual Caps in relation to the YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services of HK$24.0 million remains insignificant

  • 57 -

relative to the Company's revenue scale and Yunnan Baiyao Group's overall business size. Accordingly, the difference in calculated ratios does not detract from the reasonableness of the Proposed Annual Caps. Although no services were utilised in relation to YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services for the year ended 31 December 2025, the Proposed Annual Caps in relation to the YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services is forward-looking and is calibrated with reference to Yunnan Baiyao Group's established operational scale. The consistency of the ratios across historical periods supports the conclusion that the Proposed Annual Caps in relation to the YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services is aligned with Yunnan Baiyao Group's actual business needs.

In addition, we noted from the announcements of the Company dated 18 June 2025, 19 June 2025 and 30 June 2025 regarding business development, which disclosed that the Group has been granted exclusive distributorship authorization to distribute the products held/manufactured/sold by Yunnan Baiyao Group worldwide other than the PRC. Furthermore, it is noted from the Company's voluntary announcement dated 30 June 2025 that the first batch of toothpaste products under the brand name of Yunnan Baiyao (雲南白藥) manufactured in Thailand as arranged by the Company has been successfully sold by the Company outside mainland China, marking the first time ever that toothpaste products manufactured outside mainland China under the brand name of Yunnan Baiyao (雲南白藥) have been put up for sale. The successful execution of the initial overseas toothpaste sale nonetheless demonstrates the Group's proven capability to deliver overseas market expansion services for YNBY Products, as bringing a product from overseas manufacturing to successful international sale inherently requires market entry coordination, regulatory compliance handling, and cross-border commercial execution, which constitute overseas market expansion services. Furthermore, as disclosed in the 2026 Framework Agreement Announcement, Yunnan Baiyao Group intends to double its efforts to develop overseas markets in relation to YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services. Accordingly, taking into account the Group's demonstrated capability in overseas sales execution and Yunnan Baiyao Group's stated intention to expand overseas, it provides a reasonable basis to expect continued and increased demand from Yunnan Baiyao Group for YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services, thereby supporting the Proposed Annual Caps in relation to the YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services of HK$24 million under the 2026 Framework Agreement.

It is noted that the Group's successful production and sale of the first batch of Yunnan Baiyao branded toothpaste manufactured in Thailand for markets outside Mainland China represents a key milestone in the Company's international expansion strategy, demonstrating its enhanced production efficiency through leveraging international manufacturing expertise while maintaining stringent quality standards as set out in the 2025 Interim Report.

  • 58 -

Having considered that (i) our aforesaid analysis on the Proposed Annual Caps in relation to the YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services; (ii) the Group has been granted exclusive distributorship to distribute Yunnan Baiyao Group's products worldwide outside the PRC and has achieved a key milestone by successfully producing and selling the first batch of Yunnan Baiyao Group's branded toothpaste manufactured in Thailand for overseas markets, which demonstrates the Group's proven capability in market entry coordination, regulatory compliance, and cross-border execution, and confirms that the exclusive distributorship remains valid and mitigates recurring delay risks; (iii) the reasons for the historical low utilisation rate as above-mentioned are non-recurring in nature and the relevant factors for low utilisation were not expected to have a continuing effect on the Proposed Annual Caps in relation to the YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services, as we have discussed and understand from the Management that the delay in business development to the overseas markets of Yunnan Baiyao Group triggered by Sino-America geopolitical conflicts and tariff conflicts to be external event and we considered such view to be reasonable as (a) the Proposed Annual Caps in relation to the YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services of approximately HK$24.0 million represent approximately 6.14% of Yunnan Baiyao Group's 2024 reported foreign operating income and implied ratio of approximately 4.78% for the full year 2025 of Yunnan Baiyao Group when considering projected data, demonstrating alignment with actual business needs; (b) Yunnan Baiyao Group intends to double its overseas market development efforts, supporting expectation of resumption of normal operations no later than the year ending 31 December 2026; and (c) the Sino-America geopolitical and tariff conflicts that triggered the delay are external events, and therefore should not affect future utilisation of the Proposed Annual Caps in relation to the YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services; and (iv) the Proposed Annual Caps in relation to the YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services are formulated based on Yunnan Baiyao Group's historical financial performance, specifically its foreign operating income and the implied level of service expenses in relation to YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services that would be supported by such income, we are of the view that the historical low utilisation rate does not directly affect the reasonableness of the Proposed Annual Caps in relation to the YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services, and we concur with the Management and considered the basis for determining the Proposed Annual Caps in relation to the YNBY Products Registration and Promotion Services under the 2026 Framework Agreement, to be fair and reasonable so far as the Company and the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

  • 59 -

The Proposed Annual Caps in relation to the Global Supply Chain Integration Services under the 2026 Framework Agreement for each of the years ending 31 December 2026, 2027 and 2028 is HK$280.0 million (the “2026 Global Supply Chain Integration Services Annual Cap”), HK$280.0 million (the “2027 Global Supply Chain Integration Services Annual Cap”) and HK$280.0 million (the “2028 Global Supply Chain Integration Services Annual Cap”) respectively.

In assessing the reasonableness of the Proposed Annual Caps in relation to the Global Supply Chain Integration Services, we have considered the historical amount initially. Based on our analysis, we noted that the utilisation rate of the annual caps in relation to Global Supply Chain Integration Services under the Existing Framework Agreement were approximately 25.1% for the nine months ended 31 December 2023, 60.9% for the year ended 31 December 2024 and 63.9% for the year ended 31 December 2025. The increase in utilisation rates across the transaction periods is consistent with the continuous development of the Group’s principal business, being its trading business. As disclosed in (i) the 2025 Interim Report that the Group is principally engaged in the trading of goods and commodities, and recorded revenue of approximately HK$396.4 million for the six months ended 30 June 2025, out of which approximately HK$96.7 million was attributable to trading activities supported by the Global Supply Chain Integration Services; (ii) the 2024 Annual Report that the Group recorded revenue of approximately HK$754.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2024, out of which approximately HK$182.8 million was attributable to trading activities supported by the Global Supply Chain Integration Services; and (iii) the 2024 Annual Report that the Group recorded revenue of approximately HK$578.7 million for the nine months ended 31 December 2023, out of which approximately HK$56.5 million was attributable to trading activities supported by the Global Supply Chain Integration Services, reflecting the ongoing expansion of its core operations which necessitates greater supply chain integration support.

  • 60 -

To assess the basis of the Proposed Annual Caps in relation to the Global Supply Chain Integration Services, we have conducted additional analysis in this connection, we noted from (i) the Yunnan Baiyao Group's 2024 Annual Report that its 2024 full-year revenue amounted to approximately RMB40.0 billion; and (ii) the Yunnan Baiyao Group's 2025 Interim Report that its revenue for the first half of 2025 was approximately RMB21,257,102,896.02, representing an estimated full-year revenue of approximately RMB42.5 billion based on interim results, which reflects an annual growth rate of approximately 6.25%. We have discussed and understood from the Management that the Proposed Annual Caps in relation to the Global Supply Chain Integration Services under the 2026 Framework Agreement is referenced to the actual audited transaction amount for the year ended 31 December 2025 in relation to the Global Supply Chain Integration Services, which amounted to approximately HK$192 million. Taking into account the actual audited transaction amount of HK$192 million as a baseline and applying a growth rate reference of 6.25% (being the annual growth rate of Yunnan Baiyao Group for the first half of 2025) to derive the baseline projections for 2026 Global Supply Chain Integration Services Annual Cap, 2027 Global Supply Chain Integration Services Annual Cap and 2028 Global Supply Chain Integration Services Annual Cap of approximately HK$204 million, HK$217 million, and HK$230 million respectively. The reasonableness of the annual growth rate of approximately 6.25% is supported by reference to Yunnan Baiyao Group's sales growth scale, which directly drives the demand for the Global Supply Chain Integration Services under the 2026 Framework Agreement. Specifically, as Yunnan Baiyao Group's trading business expands, it requires increased sourcing and integration of raw materials worldwide. Therefore, we considered the annual growth rate of approximately 6.25% to be reasonable, as referencing Yunnan Baiyao Group's own historical growth rate provides a reasonable basis for projecting the future transaction volume under the Proposed Annual Caps in relation to the Global Supply Chain Integration Services. A buffer of approximately in the region of HK$50 million to HK$75 million has been included in the Proposed Annual Caps in relation to the Global Supply Chain Integration Services for each of the years ending 31 December 2026, 2027 and 2028. The buffer is considered reasonable as (i) the increased utilisation of Global Supply Chain Integration Services arising from the continuous expansion of the Group's principal trading business, as evidenced by the Group's trading activities in relation to the Global Supply Chain Integration Services increased significantly from approximately HK$56.5 million for the nine months ended 31 December 2023 to approximately HK$182.8 million for the year ended 31 December 2024, and further to approximately HK$193.4 million on an annualised basis for the year ended 31 December 2025; and (ii) possible increases in Yunnan Baiyao Group's sales growth beyond the 6.25% estimate, which demonstrates that future actual transaction amounts may possible to exceed baseline projections and that a 6.25% growth rate might not capture all potential increases, thereby the inclusion of a buffer to accommodate any acceleration beyond the estimate.

  • 61 -

Having considered that (i) our aforesaid analysis on the Proposed Annual Caps in relation to the Global Supply Chain Integration Services; (ii) the reasons for the increase in utilisation rates in relation to the Global Supply Chain Integration Services across the transaction periods is consistent with the continuous development of the Group's principal business, being its trading business; and (iii) the Proposed Annual Caps in relation to the Global Supply Chain Integration Services are formulated based on Yunnan Baiyao Group's historical financial performance and the actual audited transaction amount for the year ended 31 December 2025 in relation to the Global Supply Chain Integration Services, we concur with the Management and considered the basis for determining the Proposed Annual Caps in relation to the Global Supply Chain Integration Services under the 2026 Framework Agreement, to be fair and reasonable so far as the Company and the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

The Proposed Annual Caps in relation to the Group Products Registration and Promotion Services under the 2026 Framework Agreement for each of the years ending 31 December 2026, 2027 and 2028 is HK$24.0 million (the “2026 Group Products Registration and Promotion Services Annual Cap”), HK$24.0 million (the “2027 Group Products Registration and Promotion Services Annual Cap”) and HK$24.0 million (the “Group Products Registration and Promotion Services Annual Cap”) respectively.

In assessing the reasonableness of the Proposed Annual Caps in relation to the Group Products Registration and Promotion Services, we conducted the following analysis.

We have discussed and understood from the Management that the Proposed Annual Caps in relation to the Group Products Registration and Promotion Services were determined based on the Group's expectation to sell the Group Products into the PRC market, and to receive reciprocal services from the Yunnan Baiyao Group in connection with product registration and promotion. Other than determination of the annual caps based on the Group's discussions with Yunnan Baiyao Group, the estimated amount of the Group Product Registration and Promotion Services was mainly incurred from (i) registration of Group Products in the PRC pursuant to the relevant PRC regulatory and registration requirements; (ii) intellectual property registration of Group Products; (iii) PRC marketing services for Group Products; and (iv) PRC market expansion services provided to the Group.

  • 62 -

In respect of the Group’s procurement of Product Registration and Promotion Services, the Proposed Annual Caps in relation to the Group Products Registration and Promotion Service were determined by reference to the estimated service fees payable by the Group to Yunnan Baiyao Group. We have discussed and understood from the Management that the service fee charged to the Group is calculated on the basis of the anticipated costs to be borne by Yunnan Baiyao Group, together with a certain mark-up for Yunnan Baiyao Group’s role as agent in overseeing the process and safeguarding service quality. It is further understood from the Management that the estimation of the Proposed Annual Caps in relation to the Group Products Registration and Promotion Service was prepared based on the Group’s internal promotional schedule and expected sales to be generated in the PRC, which involves obtaining quotations from Independent Third Parties that provide services similar to the Group Products Registration and Promotion Services. The fairness and reasonableness of the Proposed Annual Caps in relation to the Group Products Registration and Promotion Services of HK$24.0 million under the 2026 Framework Agreement for each of the years ending 31 December 2026, 2027 and 2028, is further supported by reference to the following quantitative assessments. The Group Products Promotion Services Agreement entered into with Yunnan Baiyao Group in 2026 provided for a service fee of RMB2.45 million, representing approximately 27.22% of the Group’s estimated total sales of RMB9 million for the year ending 31 December 2026. We noted from the 2025 Annual Results, the revenue of the Hong Kong segment was approximately HK$695,047,018 for the year ended 31 December 2025. We have discussed and understand from the Management that it is estimated that 10% of such revenue would be targeted for entry into the PRC market for each of the three years ending 31 December 2026, 2027 and 2028, equivalent to HK$69,504,702. Applying the aforementioned 27.22% service fee ratio to the projected PRC market revenue, the estimated promotion expenses payable to Yunnan Baiyao Group for penetrating the PRC market amount to over HK$18 million. Together with other registration costs, including registration of Group Products in the PRC pursuant to the relevant PRC regulatory and registration requirements and intellectual property registration of Group Products of approximately HK$5 million, the total estimated costs payable to Yunnan Baiyao Group amount to over HK$23 million. Accordingly, the Proposed Annual Caps in relation to the Group Products Registration and Promotion Services of HK$24.0 million under the 2026 Framework Agreement for each of the three years ending 31 December 2026, 2027 and 2028 are consistent with the Group’s operational projections and market entry strategy. As such, the basis for determining the Proposed Annual Caps in relation to the Group Products Registration and Promotion Services under the 2026 Framework Agreement is considered to be fair and reasonable so far as the Company and the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

Given that the service fees shall be no less favourable than those offered to or from other Independent Third Parties under comparable circumstances and in compliance with applicable legal requirements, we are of the view that the basis upon which the Proposed Annual Caps in relation to the Group Products Registration and Promotion Service have been set is reasonable and justifiable.

Having considered that (i) our aforesaid analysis on the Proposed Annual Caps in relation to the Group Products Registration and Promotion Service; and (ii) the Proposed Annual Caps in relation to the Group Products Registration and Promotion Service are formulated based on a benchmark service fee ratio derived from the Group Products Promotion Services Agreement, applied to projected PRC market revenue representing a targeted percentage of the Group's historical Hong Kong segment revenue, together with other registration costs comprising product and intellectual property registration fees, resulting in total estimated costs payable which support the Proposed Annual Cap after including a buffer, we concur with the Management and considered the basis for determining the Proposed Annual Caps in relation to the Group Products Registration and Promotion Services under the 2026 Framework Agreement, to be fair and reasonable so far as the Company and the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

The Proposed Annual Caps in relation to the YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution under the 2026 Framework Agreement for each of the years ending 31 December 2026, 2027 and 2028 is HK$48.0 million (the “2026 YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution Annual Cap”), HK$48.0 million (the “2027 YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution Annual Cap”) and HK$48.0 million (the “2028 YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution Annual Cap”) respectively.

In assessing the reasonableness of the Proposed Annual Caps in relation to the YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution, we have considered the historical amount initially. Based on our analysis, we noted that the utilisation rate of the annual caps in relation to YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution under the Existing Framework Agreement were approximately 8.3% for the nine months ended 31 December 2023, 8.3% for the year ended 31 December 2024 and 1.9% for the year ended 31 December 2025. We have discussed and understood from the Management that the aforesaid low utilisation rates were mainly attributable to (i) the Group's Hong Kong distributor underwent a change in shareholding, which resulted in the audited actual revenue for the year ended 31 December 2025 being lower than the projection made in the prior year, with sales amounts of approximately HK$6.82 million, HK$17.6 million and HK$0.4 million for the year ended 31 December 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively; and (ii) the impact of United States tariff war, as a result that overseas sales demand and the Group's corresponding procurement decreased. Therefore, the YNBY Products purchased and distributed by the Group did not reach the level originally estimated at the material time, attributable to the aforesaid factors. The Proposed Annual Caps in relation to YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution were determined with reference to the factors as set out in this letter below. Based on the prevailing information available to them and barring unforeseen circumstances, the Management expects that the volume and demand for products and services which the Group requires, and where appropriate, to purchase from Yunnan Baiyao Group, for the years ending 31 December 2026, 2027 and 2028 shall reach the estimated level of demand as projected.

However, it should also be noted that the 2026 YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution Annual Cap, the 2027 YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution Annual Cap and the 2028 YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution Annual Cap have been substantially reduced to approximately HK$48.0 million. Given the aforesaid reasons for and factors effecting the historical utilisation rate and historical transaction amount, we have performed additional analysis as set out below. The Proposed Annual Caps in relation to YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution of HK$48.0 million was primarily based on, among others, (i) the historical transaction amounts in respect of the YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution purchased by the Group; (ii) the volume of sales of YNBY Products which the Group is expected to procure based on the Group's business plan for the expansion of market shares of YNBY Products in the overseas markets; and (iii) the market trend and demand for products that share similar nature and uses with YNBY Products for the upcoming three years.

In this connection, the Management considered that there is a need to ensure the Proposed Annual Caps in relation to YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution, to the extent possible, able to cater for the aforesaid historical and potential fluctuations as well as any unexpected increases with a view to avoid a situation whereby the insufficient annual caps may lead to the possibility of the Group temporarily ceasing to act as a distributor of Yunnan Baiyao Group and purchase and distribute YNBY Products in overseas markets during the relevant period.

Having considered that (i) our aforesaid analysis on the Proposed Annual Caps in relation to the YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution; (ii) the reasons for the historical low utilisation rate as above-mentioned are unforeseen circumstances; and (iii) the Proposed Annual Caps in relation to the YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution are formulated based on Yunnan Baiyao Group's (a) the historical transaction amounts in respect of the YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution purchased by the Group; (b) the volume of sales of YNBY Products which the Group is expected to procure based on the Group's business plan for the expansion of market shares of YNBY Products in the overseas markets; and (c) the market trend and demand for products that share similar nature and uses with YNBY Products for the upcoming three years, we concur with the Management and considered the basis for determining the Proposed Annual Caps in relation to the YNBY Products Purchase and Distribution under the 2026 Framework Agreement, to be fair and reasonable so far as the Company and the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

Summary of our analysis on the Proposed Annual Caps

Having considered the aforesaid factors and analysis, we considered the basis for determining the Proposed Annual Caps under the 2026 Framework Agreement to be fair and reasonable so far as the Company and the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

RECOMMENDATION

Having taken into consideration the factors and reasons stated above, we are of the opinion that (i) the terms under the 2026 Framework Agreement are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable; and (ii) the transactions under the 2026 Framework Agreement are conducted in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Company and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Accordingly, we would recommend the Independent Shareholders, as well as the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders, to vote in favour of the relevant resolution(s) to be proposed at the SGM to approve the 2026 Framework Agreement (including the annual caps) together with the transactions contemplated thereunder.

Yours faithfully,
